New Horizon in Therapeutics:Antimicrobial Action of Dendrobium Nobile and Phalaenopsis against Pyogenic Skin Infection Isolates
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Orchids are well-known around the globe as plants of decoration and called as gems in the area of horticulture. The main objective of this research was to evaluate the flower extracts of Dendrobium nobile and phalaenopsis plants, in vitro for their antibacterial activity against pyogenic skin infection isolates, that is, Staphylococuus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis by means of agar disc diffusion method. For this intention, strains were isolated from skin acne patients and were identified by conventional methods. The flower extracts of Dendrobium nobile and phalaenopsis showed antibacterial activity against pyogenic skin isolates. In comparable, five standard antibiotics were also checked against the isolated strains. The data demonstrated promising outcome in case of Dendrobium nobile and phalaenopsis compared to five broad-spectrum antibiotics. Moreover, the analysis also demonstrated that the pyogenic skin infectious isolates were challenging against several broad-spectrum antibiotics.
